What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (5, 2) and (3,-1)?

1 answer:

3 0

Slope = -4/5

to calculate the slope m use the gradient form

m = y2 -y1
————
x2 - x1

let (x1, y1) = (3,1) and (x2, y2) = (-2, 5)

m = 5 - 1 4
———- = ——-
-2 - 3 -5

= - 4/5

Answer:

'The closest distance between Earth and Jupiter is greater than the closest distance between Earth and Mercury by approximately 7.66 times'.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Distance between Earth and Jupiter = 5.9 × 10⁸ kilometers

Distance between Earth and Mercury = 7.7 × 10⁷ = 0.77 × 10⁸ kilometers

So, we see that,

5.9 × 10⁸ > 0.77 × 10⁸

Also, Ratio = $\frac{5.9\times 10^8}{0.77\times 10^8} =7.66$

That is,

'The closest distance between Earth and Jupiter is greater than the closest distance between Earth and Mercury by approximately 7.66 times'.

Solve the system of equations by elimination. Show your work. i’ll give brainliest

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

x = 5

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply the second equation by -1 and add the first equation to eliminate "x"

$4x+6y=44\\-4x-2y=-28$
_____________

$4y=16$

$y=16/4 =4$

Replace "y" in the first equation:

$4x+6(4)=44$

$4x+24=44$

$4x=44-24$

$x=20/4=5$

Hope this helps
